16-bit 8086, 8088, 80186 and 80286 are x86 processors too. 80386 was the first 32-bit processor from Intel, and it had many other significant architectural changes. I believe the i386 architecture name is righteous for 80386 successors, even without the 80386 particular support. That's just my IMHO. _______________________________________________ freebsd-advocacy@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
